US Patent:

6361111, Mar 26, 2002

Filed:

Nov 17, 1999

Appl. No.:

09/441873

Inventors:

Daniel P. Bowers - Glassboro NJ
Russell Guise - Franklinville NJ
Mark J. Hoskin - Mays Landing NJ

Assignee:

Electric Mobility Corporation - Sewell NJ

International Classification:

A47C 102

US Classification:

29734422

Abstract:

An apparatus is disclosed for adjusting the rotational position of a chair comprising a pedestal supporting a radially outwardly extending flange. A seat base is secured to the seat and adapted for rotational connection with the pedestal for enabling rotation of the seat. A plurality of notches are defined about the flange. The lever pivot is secured to either a right or a left pivot mountings for pivoting the lever pivot in either a right or a left position for accommodating for a right-handed or left-handed operator seated in the seat. The notch pin extends from the lever for engaging with one of the plurality of notches for locking the rotational position of the seat base relative to the pedestal.

Abstract:

To address the need for scaffold-based oxygen concentration monitoring, a single-component, self-referenced oxygen sensor was made into nanofibers. Electrospinning process parameters were tuned to produce a biomaterial scaffold with specific morphological features. The ratio of an oxygen sensitive phosphorescence signal to an oxygen insensitive fluorescence signal was calculated at each image pixel to determine an oxygenation value. A single component boron dye-polymer conjugate was chosen for additional investigation due to improved resistance to degradation in aqueous media compared to a dye polymer blend. Standardization curves show that in fully supplemented media, the fibers are responsive to dissolved oxygen concentrations less than 15 parts per million. Spatial and temporal ratiometric gradients were observed in vitro radiating outward from the center of a dense adherent cell grouping. Sensor activation in ischemia and cell transplant models in vivo show oxygenation decreases on the scale of minutes.
